Rosie Marie Shockey, 67, of Moorefield, WV, passed away on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at her residence. Born April 7, 1959, in Cumberland, MD, she was the daughter of Alice Virginia Heavner Delawder of Baker, WV and the late Homer Eugene Sampsell. A sister, Tina Sampsell Turner also preceded her in death.
A proud Moorefield High School graduate, Rosie was not only a fixture in our lives, but also a cherished friend to many. Her warm, inviting smile greeted countless customers at Food Lion, where she brought sunshine into the day of everyone she met. Whether at work or at home, Rosie had an extraordinary talent for making people feel special and valued, and her kindness will remain in our hearts forever.
Rosie’s happy place was her beloved river lot—a sanctuary where she found solitude in nature’s beauty. She was a passionate member of Harper’s Chapel Church, where her spirit will continue to shine.
For over 40 years, Rosie was the devoted wife and best friend of Gary F. Shockey. A loving mother, she leaves behind two daughters, Jessica Shockey and Brittany Shockey. Rosie is also survived by her mother, Alice Delawder, and two brothers, Robert “Bobby” Sampsell and Darrell Eugene Sampsell.
Her request for cremation has been honored by her family.
Her warmth and infectious spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her. To offer condolences, share memories, or upload photos in honor of Rosie’s extraordinary life, visit her Tribute Wall at www.fraleyfuneralhome.com and celebrate the impact she made on all those around her.
